You guys, make more stories. I'm not trying to make spamming threads, but it seems like no like to even peek at this place(screw you guys who hate writing and reading!).

Anyways, you should know what a proverb is.
... Don't tell me that you don't...
Fine, fine. A proverb is:

a condensed but memorable saying embodying some important fact of experience that is taken as true by many people

That's what Dictionary.com had to say, but in simpler words:
A phrase or sentence that uses figurative language to describe morals in life

These will be our examples:

"Sink or swim"

"For every figure, there is a shadow"

"Strike while the iron is hot"

~~~

If you guys don't mind, would you kind of tell me, or us what your proverb means if it's "out of the blue", or unusual?

Make up your own, and don't just make one up, think about it. Is it practically something that happens to everyone?

One rule:
You need to do a proverb on the morals of how people commonly live life

Badfurry, listen to the rules!

By the way, your nickname is badfurry now. :P

I remember playing that old game warcraft 2 when I was a "bit" younger. In the tips (F12 wee) were a few crappy proverbs:

- Never spit against the wind.
- Do not tickle an angry dog.
- If you can run faster then light, you have more chances to survive than if you can't.
- Out there lies the truth. In there lies the pixels.
